Shader Model 3.0 issue

Hello,

I'm trying to get Skyrim to run on my MacBook Pro, which has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB graphics card. I previously had Windows installed via Bootcamp, and was able to run Skyrim perfectly well. Now that I'm using CrossOver, it gives me a warning after launching the game that says that Shader Model 3.0 is required/is not compatible. What can I do to fix this?! I haven't changed any of the hardware on my MacBook and was able to run it before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

Try setting UseGLSL to "disabled" (without the quotes) and see if that makes a difference.
